STEELMAN 60173 80 ft-lb 1/2-Inch Drive x 17mm Torque Stick, Red

Protect your wheels, wheel studs, and brake rotors with this STEELMAN torque stick. The STEELMAN 60173 80 ft-lb 1/2-Inch Drive x 17mm Torque Stick is designed to prevent damage to wheels, studs, and brake rotors by reducing the risk of over-tightening lug nuts which can result in sheared stud bolts, rounded lug nuts, and warped rotors. This stick measures 8-5/8-inches long and has a 17mm socket on the end. When used with a 1/2-inch drive electric or pneumatic impact wrench it will limit the effective output of the wrench to 80 ft-lb (108 Newton-meters) of torque and anything above that will cause the extension to flex and absorb the extra impact. This torque stick is made of resilient chrome molybdenum (Chromoly) steel that has a red powder coat to make it easy to pick out among other tools or in a crowded toolbox.STEELMAN is an industry leader in automotive and industrial specialty tools and equipment, manufacturing the highest quality, unique, and innovative tools and products, designed to meet the specific needs of mechanics, contractors, and other working professionals.
